Public primary and junior secondary schools across Sokoto State will resume academic activities for the second term on Monday, January 5, 2026, despite ongoing security concerns in parts of the state.
The Sokoto State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, announced that the first-term holiday would end on Sunday, January 4, 2026, with all schools under its supervision resuming the following day.
In a statement signed by the Executive Chairman of SUBEB, Umar Nagwari Tambuwal, the board said adequate arrangements had been put in place to ensure a smooth and orderly resumption.
Tambuwal urged parents, guardians, traditional and religious leaders, as well as School-Based Management Committees (SBMCs) and Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs), to cooperate in ensuring that pupils return to school as scheduled.
He also directed education secretaries and school support officers across the state to commence intensive monitoring and supervision of schools to ensure compliance with the resumption timetable and maintain academic standards.
According to him, three special monitoring and supervision teams, each led by a permanent member of the board, will be deployed across the state’s three senatorial zones to assess resumption levels and school preparedness.
Tambuwal further warned contractors handling classroom construction, perimeter fencing, borehole projects and furniture supply to expedite work and complete their projects in line with contractual agreements.
The board reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining access to basic education and safeguarding the academic future of children in Sokoto State amid prevailing security challenges.
